The Transfer Tavern

Manchester United to play catch up as PSG bid £20m for their target

Manchester United fans in the Football Transfer Tavern hope to see a response from their club after talkSPORT revealed that Paris Saint-Germain have submitted a £20m bid for Lazio star Felipe Anderson.

It was unveiled in the Tavern yesterday by the landlord that United were on the brink of beating Chelsea to the 22-year-old, but now it seems as though the Ligue 1 champions are firm favourites.

Scouts of Manchester United have been sent over to Italy to see the Lazio midfielder throughout this campaign as he has gone on to bag himself 11 goals this season.

The onus is now on the Red Devils to make the next move as they have fallen behind the French giants and they will either have to match their £20m bid or they will have to make an even better offer.

The Brazilian joined Lazio in 2013 from Santos and has been influential this season, helping Lazio to a Champions League position, with only two games remaining.
